Incidentally, I found building a Lisp interpreter in C++ using the SICP interpreter recipe a great exercise.

We had a follow-up course to SICP that started with the meta-circular interpreter, broke that one down even further and eventually moved completely to a C-implementation. Most insightful course I ever had. We got assignments such as: "add co-routines to the continuation-passing style meta-circular interpreter, and to the stack-based C interpreter."
